Here is my project to join in with team B and their 'steampunk & metal' challenge.

The sponsor is

I have created a wall canvas, the size is 12" x 9". I used acrylic brown and tan paints to cover the canvas, then inked around the edge with stazon ink. I used spellbinders cogs dies to cut out the cogs and wrapped cross stitch thread around the bottom.

Here is a picture that will hopefully give you some idea of the size!

I printed out this fab image A4 size and the was no distortion at all so it shows the quality of the images! I have coloured them in pro markers and used a gold pen for buttons, buckles and cogs! Then cut them out and attached using silicon glue

I have added some gold and sparkly buttons from my stash onto the cogs
